“…According to these authors, omissions of determiners could be associated with prosody, while substitution errors in noun agreement or verb agreement could indicate grammatical and/or processing deficits, suggesting that children with CI do not show uniform grammatical profiles. This particular difficulty in grammatical morphology in children with CIs has also been examined using natural speech samples in Italian (Caselli et al., 2012; Chilosi et al., 2013), Dutch (Faes et al., 2015; Hammer & Coene, 2016), Swedish (Hansson et al., 2017) and Hebrew (Adi‐Bensaid & Greenstein, 2020). The question of the cross‐linguistic nature of grammatical difficulties in children with CIs should be addressed in the light of research on the cross‐linguistic nature of typical language development in several structurally different languages.…”

Background: One of the most consistent findings reported in the paediatric cochlear implant (CI) literature is the heterogeneity of language performance observed more in grammatical morphology than in lexicon or pragmatics. As most of the corpus studies addressing these issues have been conducted in English, it is unclear whether their results can be generalized to other languages.In particular, little is known about languages known for their grammatical complexity, such as French. Aims:The aim of this corpus study was to compare the productive use of function words (FWs) and some agreement features (AGRs) in children with CIs and children with typical development (TD) matched for mean length of utterance in words (MLU words ), a general index of grammatical complexity, and auditory experience, as measured by hearing age (HA) and chronological age (CA), respectively. Methods & Procedures: Natural speech samples from 116 monolingual Frenchspeaking children, including 40 children with CIs followed longitudinally and 76 TD children, were collected. FWs and AGRs were analysed using a Part of Speech Tagger (POS-T) from the Child Language Data Exchange System (CHILDES). Outcomes & Results:The two groups differed by 3 years for HA and CA. No effect of family socio-economic status (SES) was found in the CI group.Stepwise regression analyses showed that the two groups did not share the same predictors of MLU words : plurals and determiners predicted MLU words in children with CIs, at 2 and 3 years of HA, whereas feminine markers and subject-pronouns were found to best predict MLU words in TD children at 2 and 3 years of CA. Structural equation models (SEMs), a combination of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and path analysis, yielded a different hierarchical structure of grammatical relations (GRs). Selective difficulties affecting verbal clitics and other pronominal forms were found specifically in the CI group (objectpronouns, reflexive, relative and past participles).

“…Previous studies showing that the speech of mothers of children with CIs is associated with more directiveness than that of mothers of age-matched children with NH have not always taken into account the effect of maternal education or explicitly reported whether groups were socioeconomically comparable (e.g. Adi-Bensaid & Greenstein, 2020; Fagan et al, 2014; cf. Dirks et al, 2020).…”

The present study aimed to investigate the communicative characteristics of children with cochlear implants (CIs) and their mothers in interaction, whether and how they differ from those of mother–child dyads with normal hearing, and whether mother and child influence each other over the first year after implantation. Eighteen Italian-speaking children with CIs were assessed longitudinally across four time points, from before implantation (ages: 10–33 months) to 1 year after implantation. Two groups of normally-hearing children matched for age or lexical production level were used as comparison groups. The language used by mothers in semi-structured play sessions with their children was analyzed for use of specific techniques aimed at eliciting language in children with CIs (or Facilitating Language Techniques [FLTs]: questions, labeling, comments, parallel talk, reformulations, and directives); children’s language was analyzed for communicative functions (initiatives and adequate responses). Results showed delayed communicative development for children with CIs with respect to both control groups and different use of FLTs such as directives between mothers of children with or without normal hearing. Findings also highlighted an effect of the interlocutor’s communicative behavior for both children and mothers: In the group of children with CIs, children’s initiatives were hindered by a higher use of questions; mothers’ labeling was negatively affected by children’s responsivity. Findings may have important implications for language development support programs, families, and professionals.

Objectives: Parental linguistic input has long been shown to predict children’s later language ability. This study aimed to characterize the quantity and quality of parental linguistic input of children who are deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) through systematic literature and meta-analysis.Methods: One thousand seven hundred sixty-one articles from 2001 to February 2022 investigating parental linguistic input in children with DHH were identified via database searches. Nine articles were identified that met the PICOS (Participants, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, and Study design) criteria. A systematic review and metaanalysis of the literature were conducted. We used mixed effects models to estimate the overall mean effect size metric to address each research question.Results: As a result of the systematic literature review, the selected articles had a low risk of bias. In a considerable number of the presented meta-analytic articles, mothers and children aged 24-36 months participated. We did detect significant differences in the number of total words, the number of different words, and the proportion of the high-level facilitative language techniques from the parents’ utterances between the DHH and the typical hearing (TH) groups. On the other hand, there was not a significant difference in the number of total utterances between the two groups.Conclusion: This meta-analysis reports on different patterns of parental linguistic input between children with DHH and children with TH. We conclude with a discussion of the findings and consideration of the implications for research.
